1. How to go into nursing informatics?

   daisychains11 posted a topic in Informatics

   Hi! I am a nurse doing my master's degree right now, and I will be done in a year. I have 2 years of experience as a school nurse and at a post-acute rehab facility. I have been interested in doing nursing informatics. Do I have enough experienc...

2. Can one do both PSLF and Nursing Corps loan repayment?

   daisychains11 posted a topic in Career Support

   I have not been able to find online if one can do both of these programs.

3. New School Nurse

   daisychains11 replied to Frekledan's topic in School

   In general yes but there are some districts/organizations that pay school nurses more and your experience will also likely mean you will be paid higher than others.

4. Have debt but don't know if I want to be an NP?

   daisychains11 replied to daisychains11's topic in General Nursing

   Oh okay, thanks! When I said PSLF is more reliable likely I meant Nursing Corps is likely more reliable than PSLF.

5. Have debt but don't know if I want to be an NP?

   daisychains11 replied to daisychains11's topic in General Nursing

   I've heard that about government loan forgiveness, PSLF is likely more reliable. Yes at this point it is too late to backtrack. For now I am working as a nurse and if I find it financially feasible to become an NP then I will. Don't some hospit...

6. Direct Entry NP Programs?

   daisychains11 replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in School Programs

   There are many in Massachusetts. Some of them involve you working as a nurse for a year but not all. It is good experience anyways to work as a nurse before becoming an NP.

7. Direct Entry MSN?

   daisychains11 replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in Canada

   I am not aware of direct-entry MSN programs in Canada but maybe they do exist. There are many in Massachusetts, and also in Florida and California and New York.

8. District School Nurse

   daisychains11 replied to carebear01's topic in School

   Hi, It makes a big difference how big the district is, and what the culture is like. I worked for a year at a district with only 2 schools. It could still be incredibly busy, in fact usually I was! Which was good. The culture wasn't a good fit f...

9. New School Nurse

   daisychains11 replied to Frekledan's topic in School

   Hi, I am a new nurse that started out in a rehab facility and then as a school nurse. Your med/surge and hospital experience will help you a lot as a school nurse, because you will have more knowledge of medical conditions and emergency care. In...

10. Nurses shouldn't become NPs because the pay isn't good enough for what they do?

    daisychains11 posted a topic in Career Support

    I have heard this from people in my life and also online when I say I want to continue on from nursing to NP. I don't understand this logic. Nurses don't make enough for what they do either! Isn't it about people doing what interests them? Most peopl...

11. Have debt but don't know if I want to be an NP?

    daisychains11 replied to daisychains11's topic in General Nursing

    I am not really concerned, I plan to work either 10 years in a non-profit/government site, or nursing corps loan forgiveness.

12. Have debt but don't know if I want to be an NP?

    daisychains11 replied to daisychains11's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate that perspective but if I want to be an NP I don't mind. I will also work hard to get scholarships and grants to do my best to not go over 200k in completing my program. PCP MD/DOs who often make the same as NPs often have the same amou...

    Hi, Thanks for your comment. Yes, I can imagine that there are many nurses who relate to this thread for one reason or another, so an update is helpful. I found Nurse Liz months ago and liked her. I should watch more of her videos. ...
